mIRC crash when processing large files.
by rpbrown＠xtra.co.nz 05 Jun '01

Details how to replicate the crash. (yes its time consuming, but it shows the crash) Ok, this is what I do to crash mIRC in wine. I install the mp3-script for mIRC. http://welcome.to/autoget load the script according to the readme..and join IRC Undernet, any Undernet server will do. /join #mpthree the person we're looking for is SuperServ (an Op) right mouse on the nick, and grab there mp3 list.. you can try other ppls lists, but SuperServ has a rather big list (8Mb) which at the end of the download the script keeps on loading (processing the txt file) ..and then crashes mIRC. Loading _this_ list itself into mIRC under windows normally, mIRC is locked for a 3-4 minutes (processing the list).. maybe wine gives up too soon, since its not getting a response within X amount of time. Or the list is too big for wine to handle? thats my guesses.. I hope this helps. -mdew

uname(1) on UnixWare (Solaris)
by Bang Jun-Young 05 Jun '01

Hi, I've nearly completed new DLL configuration code in configure.in. Before making it available, I need to know what uname(1) command prints out on UnixWare (and Solaris?). As in NetBSD, it's: $ uname NetBSD I guess it would be $ uname UnixWare on UnixWare. I also wonder if UnixWare and Solaris refer to the same. Jun-Young -- Bang Jun-Young <bjy(a)mogua.org>

This is the whole point: it will work independently of the compiler, or at least break the same way during configure and during the compile, which is what we want. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Re: PATCH: set_thread_buffer fixed

However, it is so too a glibc-2.1.3 problem. I think. Sort of. The same Wine that crashes with kernel 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 works fine with kernel 2.2.14, and I bet later 2.2.x kernels when (if) I get around to building them. I think I might not be smart enough to debug it in detail. Maybe I should just send www4mail after glibc-2.2 instead. > I don't see a failure message here. > > Also, could you try to run the attached test program and see if it fails? success with either kernel version.

Yes; we should be using only relative paths in AC_CHECK_HEADER, since this is what we will use in the code. I don't think C_INCLUDE_PATH is portable either. Did you try setting CPPFLAGS instead? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Also I'm not sure about the portability > of the ${FREETYPEINCL#-I} construct. > I see your point. Now that I think about it, I probably would have been bitten by it if anyone will. I run Red Hat 7.1 which has: /usr/include/freetype/freetype.h (from FreeType 1.x) /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h (from FreeType 2.x) I just checked the gcc documentation, and directories specified with '-I' options on the command line are checked first. I have no idea, however, if other compilers behave in a similar manner. Using absolute paths for the FreeType headers would be non-trivial, but probably doable. We would have to use autoconf to define macros that include the complete path name of the headers we want to include; then #include those macros instead of the file names. Somehow, I don't think you're going to want to do that. One thing to keep in mind, however. The FreeType headers themselves use relative paths to include one another, so this is an issue that we're not going to be able to completely eliminate. This is why I had to mess around with the C_INCLUDE_PATH variable; AC_CHECK_HEADER tries to preprocess the header file, so it has to be able to find any subsidiary headers. (Is this what you mean by finding a way to check that #include <freetype/freetype.h> works?) I also had the same thought about the ${FREETYPEINCL#-I} construct. According to http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xcu/chap2.html#tag_001_006_002 it seems to be OK. Frankly, I share your distaste for this whole mess. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher ian.pilcher(a)home.com ========================================================================

Re: fixup bogus SetLastError()

Andreas Mohr <a.mohr(a)mailto.de> writes: > objects/gdiobj.c really has no business dealing with SetLastError(). > SetLastError() is a mechanism to communicate errors to external programs, > so it should definitely not be used for highly internal functions. You didn't include the gdiobj.c patch, but I disagree with it anyway... There can be many good reasons for setting last error in internal functions; for instance setting it inside GDI_GetObjPtr avoids having to set it in every single caller. And in the very rare case where this is not what we want, the caller can always set it to another value. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

stack limit

What is the correct way to increase the default stack size for winelib applications? Also, are there any drawbacks to making the value fairly large? -- Stephen Crowley Software Engineer Placemark Investments 972.404.8100 x28

There is no way to do this at the moment; but it shouldn't be too hard to add support for a 'stack' statement in the application spec file. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Then the caller needs to save/restore it across the GDI_GetObjPtr call. That's trivial to do. > In short: the SetLastError behaviour needs to match Windows behaviour very, > very closely. Definitely; but it's not clear to me that not setting last error is anywhere closer to Windows than setting it to INVALID_HANDLE. GDI_GetObjPtr should do what most callers need, and IMO this means setting it. I may be wrong, I haven't checked the error returns of all GDI functions (and of course this is nowhere documented). > This would be SelectObject() in this case, BTW. Which case? Do you have evidence that a SelectObject() with an invalid handle must not set last error? If so then of course it needs fixing. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com
